MISCellaneous Baseball Terminology WHIP: Walks and hits per innings pitched = add a pitchers walk total with his hit total and divide by the amount of innings pitched. QUALITY STARTS: A starting pitcher logs at least 6.0 innings and allows three-or-fewer earned runs in an outing. TOTAL BASES: Number of bases a hitter gains via hits only...single = 1, double = 2, triple = 3, home run = 4. AT-BAT vs. PLATE APPEARANCE: Plate appearance refers to any time a batter completes a turn batting. (NOTE: A plate appearance cannot be logged if a preceding runner was out on the base paths for a third out or the game ends with a runner scoring from third on a wild pitch or balk). At-bat refers to any turn batting that does not result in a walk, hit by pitch, sac-fly or sac-hit (bunt). OPS: A player’s on-base percentage plus his slugging percentage. MLB average in 2018 was .728. Major League Baseball’s leader was Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout at 1.088. CLOSE AND LATE: A situation in which the game is in the seventh inning-or-later and the team batting is either leading by one run, tied, or has the potential tying run on base, at-bat, or on deck. TIMES ON BASE: Includes the total number of times a hitter reaches base as result of a hit, walk, or hit by pitch...does not include times a hitter reaches via error or fielder’s choice. CATCHER’S ERA: The earned run average of a team’s pitchers with a particular catcher behind the plate. To compute, multiply nine by the earned runs allowed by the pitchers for that specific catcher, then divide that figure by his innings caught. HOLD: Credited to a relief pitcher who enters a game in a save situation, records at least one out and leaves the game never having surrendered the lead. NOTE: A pitcher cannot finish a game and earn a hold.

Earned Runs Rule The determination of earned-runs is as follows: An earned-run is a run for which the pitcher is held accountable. In determining earned-runs, the inning should be reconstructed without the errors and passed balls, and the benefit of the doubt should always be given to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached with errorless play. Until 1969, a reliever could not be charged with an earned-run if he entered the game after the side could have been retired but for an error, no matter how many runs he subsequently gave up in that inning. Now, runs scored by batters who reach base off the reliever are charged as earned on that pitcher’s record. They are not, however, charged as earned against the team as a whole. Therefore, a discrepancy may occur between the total earned-runs charged against a team and the sum total of the earned-runs charged against the individual pitchers of that team.

Know?
...that only once in their 58 seasons have the Twins won three games in a row by the same score. They beat Boston on September 3, 1987, 2-1, and followed with 2-1 victories over Milwaukee the next two days, all three of which took place in the Metrodome. The Twins have twice lost three games in a row by the same score. They were 2-1 games, July 21-23, 1967, at California, and 4-3 decisions, May 2-4, 1988, the first two coming at Milwaukee and the third at Baltimore.

Know?
...the longest home run ever hit by a Twin was estimated at 520 feet. Harmon Killebrew crushed the three-run blast off California righty Lew Burdette, which landed in the sixth row of the upper deck at Metropolitan Stadium on June 3, 1967. The ball cracked the seat, and was later painted orange to commemorate the event. The seat is now located in the Mall of America — the former site of “Met” Stadium — bolted to a wall in the amusement park, marking the height and position where the ball would have landed in the upper deck.

FRANCHISE RECORDS 1901-2018 The history of the Minnesota Twins franchise dates back to the year 1901 when, as the Washington Senators, they were born as one of the eight original franchises in the American League. The Senators played baseball in our nation’s capital for 60 years, winning one World Championship and three American League pennants, while adding Hall of Fame players like Walter Johnson, Sam Rice and Goose Goslin to the rich history of America’s game. In 1961, owner Calvin Griffith moved the Senators from Washington, D.C. to Minnesota where a new chapter has been written, one more impressive than the first. In the 58 years
since, the Minnesota Twins have won two World Championships, three American League pennants and made 12 playoff appearances. It is here that players like Killebrew, Kaat, Carew, Blyleven, Hrbek, Puckett and Mauer have been able to weave their own names into history, not only for the franchise, but for the game. The records and All-Time Top Ten Lists below recognize this shared history by including the statistics of the Washington Senators of 1901-60, as their history is our history, and any franchise history without them would be incomplete.

...that in 1976, Twins pitcher Bill Campbell went 17-5 with a 3.00 ERA and 20 saves in 78 relief appearances. He became the second player in major league history to win and save at least 15 games in a season since saves became an official statistic in 1969 (Dodger’s Mike Marshall won 15 and saved 21 in 1974). Campbell’s 17 victories tied the American League record for wins in relief. In 1977, Twins reliever Tom Johnson became the third player in major league history to win and save at least 15 games. He finished the season 16-7 with a 3.12 ERA and 15 saves in 71 relief appearances.

Saves RUle Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions: (1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and (2) He is not the winning pitcher; and (3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions: (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or (b) He enters the game with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck; or (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game. It is considered a ‘blown save’ when a pitcher who has entered a game in a save situation departs with the save situation no longer in effect because he has given up the lead. If the save situation still exists when he leaves the game, he is not charged with a save opportunity. And, if he has not given up the lead when he leaves the game, even though the save situation may no longer exist, he is not charged with a save opportunity.

Rochester’s strength was on the mound, leading the league in ERA (3.39) as 14 pitchers who made an appearance with the Red Wings also made an appearance at the big league level. Right-handed pitcher Zack Littell led the team in innings (106.0) and strikeouts (98), while lefty Stephen Gonsalves was the team leader among starters in ERA (2.96) and wins (9). Both performed well enough in Triple-A to earn major league appearances. The Red Wings had trouble generating offense as they finished last in the league in batting average (.227), 18 points lower than the next closest team (Lehigh Valley), and scored only 485 runs, 48 fewer than the next closest team (Charlotte). First baseman Kennys Vargas led the team in home runs (21) and RBI (73). Vargas finished third in the International League in home runs and fifth in RBI and was named a Postseason All-Star. Right-handed pitcher Nick Anderson was named a Mid-Season All-Star after going 5-2 with a 3.38 ERA over 26 appearances in the first half of the season.

On the mound, the Lookouts were among the best in getting their opponents to swing and miss, striking out 1,272 batters on the year, second-most in the league. The Lookouts ranked fifth in ERA (3.85) and allowed the thirdfewest walks in the league (419). At the plate, shortstop Nick Gordon, first baseman Zander Wiel and outfielder Brent Rooker terrorized opposing Southern League pitchers.

Wiel finished the year hitting .311, which was second among all qualified hitters in the league, while Rooker led the league in RBI (79) and was second in home runs (22).

since 2014 after finishing the year 68-69 overall, but clinched a playoff spot in the second half of the season with a 40-29 mark. The Miracle cruised their way through the Florida State League playoffs, sweeping Palm Beach in the first round, 2-0, and claiming the title over Daytona in four games. The Miracle were helped in the second half of the season by the promotions of outfielder Alex Kirilloff and right-handed pitcher Brusdar Graterol. In 65 games with Ft.

Kirilloff was named the Florida State League Player of the Month for July, hitting .396 (40-for-101) with 16 XBH and 20 RBI. Kirilloff was also named to Team USA for the 2018 SiriusXM Futures Game, where he went 2-for-2 with a run scored at Nationals Park. The Miracle’s strength throughout the year, though, was on the mound, where right-handed pitcher Charlie Barnes, and later Graterol, were dominant. Barnes finished third in the league in ERA (2.81) and eighth in innings pitched (118.1), while Graterol went 5-2 with a 3.12 ERA (60.2 IP, 21 ER) and 56 strikeouts in 11 starts down the stretch.

only 1.5 games behind the GCL Red Sox for first place.

On the mound, the Twins were led by right-hander Prelander Berroa, whose 2.29 ERA (39.1 IP, 10 ER) was the best among the team’s starting pitchers. Lefty Donny Breek was also solid, going 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA (37.1 IP, 12 ER) over 10 appearances (eight starts).

TARGET FIELD
The Minnesota Twins moved into their new home, Target Field, prior to the beginning of the 2010 season. The ballpark is a modern architectural expression, a dichotomy of Minnesotans’ cosmopolitan lifestyle so rooted in nature and the outdoors. The stone and glass landmark, topped by a metal-clad, sculpted roof canopy, is chiseled into downtown Minneapolis on one of Major League Baseball’s smallest sites. The ballpark’s urban appeal is enhanced with immediate access to light rail and commuter rail, bridging the site to its urban surroundings and spurring development in the western corner of downtown. Target Field proved to be one of the premier sporting and entertainment venues in the Upper Midwest, and one of the most unique, spectacular parks in all of Major League Baseball. Here is a list of features that helped to make it unlike any other baseball experience in America.
MATERIALS
Native Minnesota limestone forms the mass of the ballpark’s exterior façade. Glass and metal details punctuate the limestone surface, creating a sophisticated composition. In addition, whenever possible, the ballpark and surrounding areas incorporated Minnesotanative flowers, trees and shrubs.
SEATING
Target Field features one of the closest seating bowls to the playing field in all of Major League Baseball. Seats in Target Field feature more leg room and are articulated towards the field of play. The ballpark features more aisles with fewer seats per row.
CONCOURSE
The ballpark features a 360-degree open main concourse giving fans an uninterrupted view of the playing field.

CLIMATE/SHELTER
The Twins are committed to providing a comfortable experience for the fans—even when our weather is less than perfect. Fans are able to take advantage of heated concessions, restrooms, and restaurant and lounge areas found on each ballpark level including the Terrace level. Target Field’s roof canopy—one of the largest in baseball—provides added protection, while the revamped Gate 34 Experience will provide shelter for fans entering the ballpark’s main gate.
CELEBRATING MINNESOTA’S RICH BASEBALL HERITAGE
Target Field celebrates the heritage and history of the game across the Upper Midwest. The ballpark includes tributes to the great Twins teams and players from the past, other Minnesota baseball icons and baseball players, and teams and ballparks of all levels.

Accolades, Continued... THE “GREENEST” BALLPARK IN AMERICA In 2010, the U.S. Green Building Council awarded Target Field LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Silver Certification for New Construction, making it the second major league ballpark in the United States to achieve that status.

The LEED Gold certification was earned at Target Field by recertifying via the U.S. Green Building Council’s new LEED Performance Path certification option. By utilizing LEED Performance Path, Target Field became the first sports venue in the nation to recertify through this program using Arc. Target Field earned LEED points by taking advantage of credit from the previous certification efforts, as well as tracking and improving operations such as alternative transportation use, energy/water efficiency, waste diversion and recycling, air quality, and human experience.

Renovations
Since opening in 2010, Target Field has undergone several renovations and additions, all done to enhance the ballpark experience for fans, players, staff, and neighbors. Below are some of the major renovations inside Target Field over the last nine-plus seasons:
RIGHT FIELD VIDEO BOARD AND TWINS TOWER - Both built between the 2010 and 2011 seasons. Located next to each other behind the right field grand stand. The video board is 28’ high x ‘50 wide. The Twins Tower is 100’ high x 5’ wide x 11’ deep.
SUPER CUTS SUPER SEATS - Built between the 2012 and 2013 seasons. The Twins replaced regular seating and unveiled the “Super Cuts Super Seats” seating section. Located in the right field corner, is designed to be an exciting destination for both group and single-game ticket purchasers; similar to the Budweiser Roof Deck in left field.
BARRIO - Built between the 2014 and 2015 seasons. The Twins and Barrio announced a new partnership that included branding of a new bar/restaurant, replacing a team store and adding more drink rails. Located adjacent to the left-field foul pole (inside Gate 6).
LED LIGHTING - Installed between the 2016 and 2017 seasons, the field lighting was upgraded to LED technology reducing fixture count from 746 to approximately 512. Reduces energy use by approximately 55% for the field lighting and provides an improved look for not only fans at the ballpark, but also for television viewers. LED fixtures were also installed to illuminate the underside of the canopy, allowing for flexibility to change colors as desired.

CATCH AND MINNIE & PAUL’S - Built between the 2015 and 2016 seasons. The Twins and Populous transformed the center field seating area into a multi-level fan gathering space. The upper level, called Minnie & Paul’s, is a Twins-themed pub open to all fans. The lower tier, called CATCH, is an all-inclusive club with access to approximately 120 season ticket holders.
Renovations, Continued... BAT & BARREL - Renovated in 2018, the space formerly known as the “Metropolitan Club” was improved to accommodate any fan, making it open to all fans with a game-day ticket. The most expansive renovation to date includes operable glass windows opening the space to the Target Field experience. Additionally, the space features state-of-the-art video elements, Minnesotabased artist murals, and major award history on display.
EXPANDED CONCOURSE AND DRAFTS AT 34 - In 2018, the Twins expanded the main concourse at the intersection of Gates 29 and 34. This renovation expanded the concourse by as much as 40 feet creating enhanced ingress and egress for fans. It also cut down on congestion and provided fans with premium new drink rail standingroom locations. Also included in the concourse renovation was a tap wall known as DRAFTS at 34, which features up to 22 unique beers from across Twins Territory.
GATE 34 EXPERIENCE - Gate 34 and Target Plaza reconstruction took place over the offseason, 2018-19. The new design enhances ingress and egress, while creating a new, must-visit destination for fans inside the revised gate line. The area provides two additional entry points to maximize fan access and decrease crowd congestion. The revised Gate 34 design results in the addition of more than 9,300 square feet of new space inside the ballpark. Included in that space will be approximately 5,600 square feet of turf, making it an inviting destination for fan activities before, during and after Target Field events. The “Market” at Gate 34 will be a multifunctional, versatile space that will provide access to various merchants from across Twins Territory, while also accommodating activities such as autograph signings, food and beverage options and added entertainment. BATTER’S EYE - “LIVING WALL” - Reconstruction took place over the winter of 2018-19, replacing the previous black backdrop. The Target Field living wall system, which is the fist of its kind for a Major League Baseball batter’s eye and, at 2,280 square feet is among the largest in the continental United States, incorporates approximately 5,700 sea green juniper plants, individually installed and secured in a tiered, multiple-tray system. Together, the junipers create a consistent, stationary background without variations in color or texture.

TWINS RETIRED NUMBERS HARMON KILLEBREW One of the greatest home run hitters of all time, Harmon Killebrew will forever be remembered by Twins fans as the ‘Killer’ for his prolific clouts. A member of the Twins from their inaugural Minnesota season in 1961, Killebrew hit 573 career home runs, 475 of them in his 14 seasons with the Twins, and ranks 12th on the all-time home run list and third (behind Babe Ruth and Alex Rodriguez) in American League history. He hit over 40 home runs on eight occasions, and 30 or more 10 times, while driving in 100 or more runs nine times. Killebrew was the American League’s Most Valuable Player in 1969 when he hit 49 home runs with an amazing 140 RBI and 145 walks, all team records that still stand. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984, becoming the first Twin to receive the honor. He had his number 3 formally retired on May 4, 1975, and was selected to the Twins 25th Anniversary Team in 1986 and 40th Season All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000 and named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010. Killebrew passed away on May 17, 2011.
ROD CAREW No Twins fan will ever forget the graceful power of Rod Carew’s hitting stroke. Nor will any baseball enthusiast ever forget the summer of 1977, when Carew made his determined run at the untouchable .400 mark, because, just as Killebrew embodied the power of the game, Carew represented its finesse. He was a career .328 hitter over his 19 major league seasons and was the winner of seven American League batting titles, all during his 12 years with Minnesota. Carew hit .300 or better 15 consecutive seasons and finished his career with 3,053 hits, which places him 27th among the all-time hit leaders and makes him one of only 32 players to collect 3,000 or more career hits. Carew, who won the American League Most Valuable Player award in 1977, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1991. He had his number 29 retired July 19, 1987, and was selected to the Twins 25th Anniversary Team in 1986 and the 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000 and was named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010.
TONY OLIVA Pedro ‘Tony’ Oliva Jr., or ‘Tony-O’ to those who followed his 24-year career as a Twins player and coach, was a man who seemed to excel in all aspects of the game. He could hit for power and average, run, field and throw, and his versatility made him one of the most feared hitters of his day. Tony-O collected 1,917 hits and retired with a .304 career average. He is the only player to win batting titles in his first two seasons and was the winner of three in his 15-year career. His prowess as a hitter was demonstrated by the fact that he led the league in hits five times and his 220 career home runs rank fourth all-time among Twins. If not for the knee problems that cut his career short, Oliva would have been a certain choice for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Oliva, the 1964 American League Rookie of the Year, began his coaching career in 1976. He now works as a Twins hitting instructor at the major league and minor league level and scouts for the club. He had his number 6 retired July 14, 1991, and was selected to the Twins 25th Anniversary Team in 1986 and the 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000 and was named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010.

TWINS RETIRED NUMBERS KENT HRBEK Kent Hrbek grew up in the shadows of Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington and was destined to become a Minnesota Twin. The big kid had more fun than most and treated Twins fans to much excitement from the day he donned a Twins uniform, homering in his major league debut in the 12th inning at Yankee Stadium to give the Twins a win on August 24, 1981. He finished his career with 293 home runs and 1,086 RBI, both good for second most in club history. Hrbek, who was runner-up to Cal Ripken Jr. for American League Rookie of the Year in 1982, made his only All-Star appearance that season. He was most appreciated by his teammates and Twins fans for his upper-deck power, agility and for being one of the best ever to play first base. He is among club leaders in nearly every offensive category, but may be best remembered for his Game 6 grand slam in the 1987 World Series, or for his tag of Atlanta’s Ron Gant in Game 2 of the 1991 World Series. He had his number 14 formally retired August 13, 1995 and was selected to the Twins 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000, was selected to the All-Metrodome team in 2009 and was named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010.
KIRBY PUCKETT Considered by most to be the greatest Twin, ‘Puck’ was baseball’s jewel for 12 incredible seasons. He was a hero from day one, when he became the ninth player in history to collect four hits in his first game on May 8, 1984 at California. The dramatic entrance proved to be just the first of many heroic performances leading up to his shining moment on October 26, 1991, during Game 6 of the World Series against Atlanta. He went 3-for-4, robbed Ron Gant of an extra-base hit, and became the ninth player to end a World Series game with a home run on the final pitch with a drive off Charlie Leibrandt in the 11th inning to force a seventh game. The 10-time All-Star, six-time Gold Glove Award winner and five-time Silver Slugger Award winner had his career cut short when he awoke with blurred vision caused by glaucoma on March 28, 1996. He was later forced to announce his retirement due to irreversible damage to the retina in his right eye on July 12. He retired as the Twins’ all-time leader in hits (2,304), doubles (414), total bases (3,453), at-bats (7,244) and runs (1,071). Puckett was one of the game’s greatest community leaders and was given Major League Baseball’s Roberto Clemente Man of the Year Award in 1996. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 2001 and became the third-youngest living electee in baseball history (behind Sandy Koufax and Lou Gehrig). He had his number 34 formally retired May 25, 1997 and was selected to the Twins 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000, was selected to the AllMetrodome Team in 2009 and named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010. Puckett passed away on March 6, 2006.
BERT BLYLEVEN After breaking into the big leagues at the age of 19, Blyleven would go on to pitch 11 of his 22 major league seasons with the Twins (1970-76 and 1985-88). His knee-buckling curve ball, competitive drive and his knack for being the clubhouse “prankster” are only a few reasons why Blyleven had a successful career. Blyleven was named the 1970 American League Rookie Pitcher of the Year and was selected to the American League All-Star Team in 1973 and 1985. He finished his Twins career with a record of 149-138 and a 3.28 ERA. His 2,035 strikeouts are the most in Twins history, while his 149 wins rank second. The winner of two World Series Championships (1979 with Pittsburgh and 1987 with Minnesota), Blyleven ranks fifth on Major League Baseball’s all-time strikeouts list with 3,701. His number 28 was formally retired July 16, 2011, becoming the first Twins pitcher to have his number retired. Blyleven was selected to the Twins 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame in 2002, was selected to the All-Metrodome Team in 2009 and named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010. Blyleven was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY on July 24, 2011, becoming the first Hall of Famer born in the Netherlands.

TWINS RETIRED NUMBERS TOM KELLY “TK” took over the managerial duties for the Twins on September 12, 1986. In his first full season (1987) as the skipper, he led the Twins to their first World Series Championship. He led the club to their second World Series victory in 1991, which marked the first time in major league history that a team went from last place one season to World Champions the next. The 1991 American League Manager of the Year had a managerial record of 1140-1244, which places him first on Minnesota’s all-time list in wins and games managed. At the time of his retirement after the 2001 season, Kelly was the longest tenured manager/coach in all of major sports. His number 10 was formally retired September 8, 2012, becoming the first Twins manager to receive the honor. Kelly was selected manager on the Twins 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000 and was named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010.
JOE MAUER The hometown St. Paul kid and first overall pick in the 2001 First-Year Player Draft came out of Cretin Derham Hall High School to play for the team he watched growing up on the other side of the Mississippi River. Joe Mauer played 15 seasons in a Twins uniform from 2004-18, joining Tony Oliva as the only players in club history to reach that particular feat. During that time, the 2009 American League Most Valuable Player was named to six AL All-Star teams, earned five Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Awards, three Rawlings Gold Glove Awards and became the only American League catcher to ever win a batting title, having done so three different times in 2006, 2008 and 2009. The former catcher turned first baseman ranks first on the Twins all-time list in doubles (428) and times on base (3,087); second in games (1,858), hits (2,123) and walks (939); fifth in RBI (923) and 11th in home runs (143). He was selected to the All-Metrodome team in 2009 and was named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010. Mauer was a finalist for the Roberto Clemente Award for Outstanding Community service four times in his career, along with countless charitably endeavors from Joe and his family. Mauer’s number will be formally retired on June 15, 2019.
JACKIE ROBINSON Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier when Branch Rickey brought him up to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. He brought a dynamic style of play to the game and terrorized the base paths. Robinson also proved to be an excellent hitter and a superb defensive infielder. He was voted the National League MVP in 1949 when he hit a league-leading .342 and drove in 124 runs. He batted .311 in his 10-year career and set several fielding records for second basemen. In conjunction with the 50th anniversary celebration of Robinson breaking baseball’s color barrier, Commissioner Bud Selig announced on April 15, 1997 at Shea Stadium that Major League Baseball would retire his uniform number 42 in perpetuity. The Minnesota Twins officially retired his number on May 23, 1997.

CARL R. POHLAD OWNER, 1984-2009
With the franchise facing a possible move out of state, Pohlad purchased the Twins in 1984.

Pohlad enjoyed great success upon taking ownership of the Twins by providing leadership that resulted in two World Series Championships in 1987 and 1991 and back-to-back-to-back American League Central Division Championships from 2002 to 2004. The on-field success of the franchise was largely due to Pohlad’s ability to build and manage an exceptional baseball organization with a strong emphasis on player development.

TREASURE ISLAND BASEBALL NETWORK 2019 marks the 13th season that the Minnesota Twins control their radio broadcast rights. More than 90 stations in the five-state area carry Twins games and comprise the Treasure Island Baseball Network. In the Minneapolis-St. Paul market, the Twins can be heard on 830 WCCO. The move back to ‘CCO and Entercom in 2018 marked the return to their original broadcast partner, the Twins home for their first 46 years. The Twins were broadcast on Go 96.3 for five seasons from 2013-17 and ESPN 1500 for six seasons from 2007-12. The Twins employ an in-house production team that produces the game broadcasts including pre-game and post-game shows that air on network affiliates. In addition, the network team produces the “Hot Stove Show” that airs Wednesday nights throughout the off-season hosted by preand post-game host Kris Atteberry. During the season, fans across Twins Territory can listen to “Inside Twins” which airs prior to Sunday pre-game shows featuring Twins Chief
Baseball Officer Derek Falvey, Twins Manager Rocco Baldelli and other front office staff. This show runs all season and gives fans access into the inner workings of Twins baseball as well as a glimpse through the eyes of the Manager. In 2007 the Twins, in partnership with the Minnesota News Network, assumed control and development of the Twins Radio Network with Treasure Island Resort & Casino, becoming the first-ever naming rights partner for the network in 2010. Historically, the Treasure Island Baseball Network has been one of the largest in all of Major League Baseball with hometown radio partners bringing Twins baseball to fans across five states. The Twins also broadcast 50 games in Spanish. Alfonso Fernandez begins his 13th season as play-by-play voice with Tony Oliva as the analyst. Games in Spanish can be heard via a stream on Twinsbeisbol.com and on the SAP channel during FOX Sports North broadcasts.

broadcast games in Spanish, return Twins Hall of Famer and color analyst Tony Oliva, and play-by-play announcer Alfonso Fernandez, to the broadcast booth for their 14th season together. All 50 games will include a 15 minute pre and postgame show.
ALFONSO FERNANDEZ SPANISH RADIO, PLAY-BY-PLAY

He was the first to broadcast basketball in Spanish in the Los Angeles area and has spent 33 years behind the microphone. Fernandez and his wife, Rosalia, daughter, Angela, and son, Jared, make their home in White Bear Lake, MN.
TONY OLIVA
SPANISH RADIO, ANALYST
Pedro ‘Tony’ Oliva Jr., or ‘Tony-O’ to those who followed his 24-year career as a Twins player and coach, was a man who seemed to excel in all aspects of the game. He could hit for power and average, run, field and throw, and his versatility made him one of the most feared hitters of his day. Tony-O collected 1,917 hits and retired with a .304 career average. He is the only player to win batting titles in his first two seasons and was the winner of three in his 15-year career. His prowess as a hitter was demonstrated in the fact that he led the league in hits five times, and his 220 career home runs rank fourth all-time among Twins. If not for knee problems which cut his career short, Oliva would have been a certain choice for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Oliva, the 1964 American League Rookie of the Year, began his coaching career in 1976. He also works as a hitting instructor in the Twins minor league system and scouts for the club. He had his number 6 retired July 14, 1991 and was selected to the Twins 25th Anniversary Team in 1986 and the 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000, and was named one of the “50 Greatest Twins” in 2010. In 2013, he became the eighth ever recipient of the Herb Carneal “Lifetime Achievement” Award.

CENTURYLINK SPORTS COMPLEX The Twins will spend their 29th spring training season in Lee County at the recently renovated CenturyLink Sports Complex in 2019. Spurred by their first year in the state-of-the-art facility, the Twins won the 1991 World Series after enjoying their most successful Spring Training camp in history as they posted a record-high 21 wins. In the 28 years, the Twins have drawn at total of 2,961,513 fans for 445 dates, an average of 6,587 per game (total does not include 17 replacement games in 1995 - 49,240 fans).
Located south of the city of Fort Myers near Interstate 75, the CenturyLink Sports Complex is the spring training home to the Twins and their six minor league affiliates. The centerpiece of the facility is an 8,730-seat stadium in which the major league Twins play their exhibition games and conduct some of their daily workouts. The complex also features five full practice fields and two half-fields. On August 3, 2004, the Twins signed an extension with Lee County for use of the complex through 2020, and on November 6, 2012 the Lee County Board of County Commissioners approved a $42.5 million renovation and a new 30-year lease. Combined with the Twins contribution, the total for the renovations increased to $48.5 million. The renovations prior to the 2015 season increased the seating capacity to 8,730 and include a new party deck, expanded gift shop and an outfield boardwalk around the playing field to create a 360-degree walk-around the stadium, similar to Target Field. The plan also renovated previously existing concession stands, restrooms, suites and press box areas. The project was designed by Populous out of Kansas City, Missouri, with designed assistance by Parker Mudgett Smith, based out of Ft. Myers, Florida, and was constructed by Manhattan Construction.
The main stadium was renamed Bill Hammond Stadium late in the 1994 spring season in honor of the longtime Deputy County Manager who was instrumental in getting the complex approved and bringing the Twins to Lee County. Major league home and visiting clubhouses are included in the stadium proper, and complete facilities for the minor league teams are contained in a building adjacent to their playing fields. Prior to the start of the 2005 spring training, a 6,000 square foot state-ofthe-art fitness training room and conference center was built next to the minor league facility. The major league club’s administrative offices are located in the stadium, with the minor league administrative offices in the building adjacent to its fields. The facility also features a four-field softball complex and other athletic facilities for use by Lee County organizations and visiting amateur baseball and softball teams, plus an 11-acre watermanagement lake. The Twins trained in Orlando, FL, from 1936 through 1990 (with the exception of the war years of 1943, 44 and 45, when they conditioned in College Park, MD) and their minor league clubs moved to Terry Park in Ft. Myers in 1990, after headquartering in Melbourne, FL, from 1964-89. The entire organization was united for the first time in Lee County in 1991. The Sports Complex, an $18.2 million undertaking, was completed in February, 1991. Lescher and Mahoney, an architectural and engineering firm based in Tampa, FL, was the lead architect for the project, with design assistance from Ellerbe-Becket of Kansas City, Missouri. Case Contracting Company of Plant City, FL, was the contractor.
Miscellaneous
A signature feature of the renovated facilities is the Twins Player Development Academy which includes a 58-room residence hall for players and staff, dining facilities, recreational spaces, meeting rooms, educational classrooms and Champions Hall, a 220 seat tiered theater used by players and staff for meetings, conferences and presentations throughout the year. The Academy contains state of the art technology, Wi-Fi throughout and high-tech video systems for player instruction for both major league and minor league players. In addition to the Player Development Academy, the entire minor league building was renovated including expanded clubhouse with new lockers for players and staff, new 1,800 square foot training room, high tech video facilities, expanded office space and a new game field for the minor league teams. The major league facility, team and player upgrades include new athletic training and strength and conditioning rooms, new lockers for players and staff, dedicated dining room space, state of the art video facilities and complete renovation of all office and meeting rooms. The overall project earned the Twins the Ballpark Digest’s Best Major Renovations of 2015.
Continuing the renovations at Hammond Stadium prior to the 2016 season, Lee County and the Twins added a shade structure along the LF line of the Boardwalk and a permanent serving area on the 4th floor Sky Deck. Installed prior to 2017, the old scoreboard was replaced with a new full-feature LED video board. The screen measures 18’ x 35’ and was installed by Daktronics of Brookings, SD. Additionally, the GCL Twins home playing field has been named “Bill Smith Field” in honor of the former Twins General Manager. The CLSC is home to two Twins minor league affiliates, housing both the Ft. Myers Miracle of the Single-A Florida State League and the Rookie Level Gulf Coast League Twins.

TWINS SPRING TRAINING MEDIA POLICIES SPRING CREDENTIALS Credentials for accredited news media for Spring Training games are available through an application at https://credentials.mlb.com. These will be issued only to daily newspaper reporters who will be covering the club, home and road and to area radio and TV sports reporters and camera crews who will be covering on a regular basis. All other media entities will be credentialed on a per-game basis (including parking) through an application at https://credentials.mlb.com. No fax or email requests will be accepted unless approved by the Twins Communications department. Transfer of working press credential will result in the termination of coverage privileges for the individuals involved. A photo ID and signature are required for credential pick-up at the VIP Window.
FIELD ACCESS Allowed during batting practice and other workouts during the early training period, but once the game schedule begins the field must be cleared at the end of visitors’ batting practice. All reporters must confine themselves to foul territory between 1st and 3rd base. Workouts begin daily at approximately 9:00 a.m.
DINING ROOM ACCESS Available only to those media credentialed to cover that day’s game, for a $6 charge. This room will open at 11:30 a.m. for day games (4:30 p.m. for night games) and will close at gametime. Working photographers will be permitted in the press dining room on the same basis as other reporters.
PRESSBOX ACCESS Permitted only to members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) and to coverage reporters of area daily newspapers and radio and TV stations. Weekly newspapers can be accommodated only on a space-available basis. Wireless internet is available.
CLUBHOUSE ACCESS Limited to members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) and to coverage reporters of area daily newspapers and radio and TV stations. The clubhouse will be open prior to and following workouts during the pre-schedule workout period with certain exceptions. During the game schedule, the clubhouses will be closed at the end of batting practice until five minutes after games. Clubhouse access is limited to the player-locker area and the manager’s office. The training room, exercise room and equipment rooms are off-limits to all media. No still cameras are allowed in the clubhouse.
INTERVIEWS Players will accommodate when possible where on-field interviews are concerned. Any in-studio appearances or appearances on the player’s own time must be set up through the Twins Communications department.
RADIO & TV Television cameras will be allowed in the clubhouse prior to games and workouts, as well as after games and workouts. Feature material should be filmed on the field during batting practice. Post-game interviews may be conducted on the field or in the clubhouse for both TV and radio.
CAMERA POSITIONS Several camera positions are available for shooting during the game, but no cameras will be allowed on the field itself. The center field position will be for game television cameras only, as will the low home position, unless cleared through the Twins Communications department. High and low, first and third base will be credentialed on a space-available basis. Any photographers shooting from the field photo pits will only be allowed to leave or change positions between innings.
PHOTOGRAPHERS No still photographers will be allowed on the field during the game or in the clubhouse at any time. There are at least four positions from which photographers may shoot during games. On the first day of full squad workouts, photographers will be allowed the freedom of the field during the exercise period, but must stay in foul territory during the actual workout times. On all other days, all media personnel must stay in foul territory and no farther down the lines than first and third base. No photographs are to be taken from the pressbox.
MEDIA DAY Will be on Wednesday, February 22, beginning at 7:30 a.m., sharp. All photographers and media seeking head shots and digital content are asked to cooperate by doing this on Media Day, when the players will be made available in an assembly line fashion to accommodate all accredited news services.
